In the centre, standing on the mortar, is Balilla, the 11-year-old boy who started the anti-Austrian insurrection of 1746. On the sides are two other young commoners who contributed to the ousting of the Austrians: Pittamuli, who managed to take 50 Austrian grenadiers prisoner in Sant'Agata, and Giovanni Carbone, who on 10 December 1746 distinguished himself in the reconquest of the Porta di San Tommaso, the last enemy stronghold.
